One can only hope this means the Downton Abbey movie plot will be an alternate universe where Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) doesn't die after the birth of his son.

Fans were never the same after that shocking third season finale. The show moved on — it had to — but we were always left to wonder what could have been had Stevens signed on for more work at Highclere Castle.

Sure, he might've not wound up in the role of The Beast alongside Emma Watson in Disney's live-action reboot of Beauty and the Beast, but dedicated viewers of Downton would have gladly made that sacrifice.

Fast forward to Summer 2018…

Official confirmation of a Downton Abbey movie finally came, and with it so did speculation of a possible return from The Abbey's one true heir. Welp, Mr. Beasty himself decided to fan the flames of that hope, posting to Instagram a reunion photograph with his Downton wife, Michelle Dockery.

But it was the caption that really dropped jaws. See what he said (below):

As we reported, the Real Housewives of New York City star's on-again, off-again boyfriend Dennis Shields was found dead Friday in his apartment in Trump Tower. According to The New York Post, the banker allegedly asked his assistant to give him Narcan, an emergency treatment for opioid overdose, but lost consciousness before it could take effect. The Post's sources believe Shields was taking the prescription painkiller OxyContin.

On Monday, after his funeral in Long Island, the Skinnygirl founder shared an emotional post on Instagram, paying tribute to her flame and her 17-year-old dog — Cookie — who died last fall following a major seizure.

In a vid posted on the band's Insta-Story, Paris shared that her abscess "was almost the size of a golf ball" and warned that if it were to pop, she could "go septic and die." Thankfully, she added, "I didn't die."

Congrats to Jason Aldean and wife Brittany Aldean — their second child together will be coming in a few months, and after doing their big gender reveal and posting it to Instagram on Sunday, we can now confirm they'll be having a girl!
